third trimester insomnia

I can't sleep for the life of me! It's killing me I got put off work at 32 weeks and I'm currently in my 35th week so I've had lots of time to relax and get everything done and my plan was to sleep as much as possible before peanut comes!! I'm so frustrated, I just want to sleep! Is this common for anyone else?

@_kianajanee that's what I did before my pregnancy on those restless nights, nothing works better than Benadryl! I didn't know it was safe to take while pregnant? Thanks pps, that's totally me wandering my house like a lunatic at 6 am when everyone else is going to work lol I guess my body is preparing for more sleepless nights to come :(

My schedule is seriously so messed up. I don't fall asleep until 4:30 or 5 in the morning, always wake up at 7:30ish, then I'm awake until 11 or so, and then I pass out until 3 or 4. Today was bad, I slept until 5. I feel like I'm wasting my days away and it's driving me insane! But I guess I've got to take the sleep where I can get it! Good thing I'm no longer working or I'd be screwed!

It might seem strange but I get anxiety when I can't sleep because my hip hurts or something and I can sometimes work myself into an insomnia frenzy .. Someone suggested recently that I calm myself by closing my eyes and repeating a calming phrase to myself over and over (not outloud obv). I have been saying to myself "I am going to sleep beautifully" over and over and it has really helped!

I take unisom but make sure it's the doxylamin kind because there are two types of unisom and the other is simply Benadryl which didn't work for me. Super safe and works very well most nights I take it
